Diane Keaton, “Father of the
Bride Part II” takes an infec
tiously funny look at life’s surprises -
both great and small. George Banks
(Martin), dumbstruck at the double
whammy news that he is going to
become a grandfather for the first
time and a father yet again, decides
to deliver his own improm ptu solu
tion to this *90s-style d ia p e r d i
lem m a in an h ila rio u s com edy
about one man’s headlong confron
tation with middle age.
George Banks can relax at last.
H e and his wife N ina (K eaton)
could not be happier. T heir daugh
ter Annie (Kimberly Williams) and
son-in-law Bryan are settled into a
new m arriage and responsible jobs.
T heir son, Matty (Kiernan Culkin)
is growing up and the mortgage on
th e d re a m h o u se is p a id off.
T h e r e ’s n o th in g b u t b lu e skies
ahead. And th a t’s when G eorge’s
life slams into spin cycle.
First, Annie and Bryan drop the
bombshell news that they are going
to be p a re n ts. Soon th e re a fte r,
Annie announces that she too is ex
p e c tin g a baby! I t ’s too m uch.
G eorge feels he is w aaaaay too
young to be a grandfather and much
too old to be a father again. W'hat
to do? How to cope? W hether he
knows it or not, George is suffering
a mid-life crisis. When Annie and
Nina call on the flamboyant Franck
Egglehofer (M artin Short) to coor
dinate their splashy double wedding
shower, George makes a rash deci
sion to handle these nagging issues
about creeping old age and crawl
ing new babies in his own inim i
table style - and with delightfully
comical results.
“Steve Martin and Diane Keaton
are icons of the baby boom genera
tion,” said producer Nancy Meyers. “It
will have meaning for audiences to see
Steve martin, the wild and crazy guy
"Father Of The Bride Part II " is a comedy about
mid-life fatherhood. I t will be premiering on
"The Wonderful World of Disney" on Sunday,
May 1 6 ,7 -9 PM (E T/P T) on ABC.
with the arrow through his head and Diane Keaton,
the irresistible and adorable Annie Hall, talk about
issues such as menopause and aging. And it’s fun
to see them dealing with the contradiction of being
old enough to become grandparents and still young
enough possibly to become parents again. I feel this
movie shows our generation continuing to explore
uncharted territory.”
